Unit Evaluation

This year so far is nothing like last year, this semester has been full on with each unit. Special Effects has been fun yet also very stressful. I feel my first sculpture (the bullet) was a breeze, the actual wound came out exactly how I wanted it, and everything went OK with the silicone. There was one thing that I would change if I got the chance to redo it and that would be just to place the wound a little more to the left. However I'm very happy with my paint job and final image of my character.

My human hybrid I'm happy but think I could have improved it a lot more.

I had quite a few issues when creating this mould. Initially I wanted to create a mermaid type hybrid, but wasn't happy that the clay sculpt resembled fish scales. So instead of restarting I changed my idea to a snake design, the snake skin came out perfect on the clay, but once I took it out some of the imprint didn't pick up on the mould (I done the mould 3 times prior). I think I went wrong with the super baldiez, maybe it wasn't dry thoroughly. Once the Make-up and paint job was applied it looked a lot better than it did initially, I think it was the use of metallic colours that helped. I'm hoping by the end of this course year my moulds will be perfect and if not I hope to learn how to work better with what I have.
